… I see. I suppose even if I had been there he wouldn’t have listened if I discouraged him.

‘Given wings’? That on its own seems like a pleasant thing. But you aren’t speaking as if things are well with him.

Henry @robot-toy.bsky.social · 18/04/2025

Something happened to him in my absence, hasn’t it? We hurt him when we’re there and he’s hurt when we’re not. There’s no winning, is there?

I’m not sure that they forgive me for what I’ve done. It’s better to keep my distance so I don’t hurt anyone.

I think I have found a crack to slip between that leads to my own world. I’ve been there and back a few times, just to test. I wouldn’t leave without my master. I have not been keeping a terribly watchful eye on my master. I trust the others to take care of them.

I didn’t think my ears were dirty..

Henry @robot-toy.bsky.social · 10/04/2025

Mmm.. stop that. Why are you ..?

Henry @robot-toy.bsky.social · 10/04/2025

(Henry settles next to him.)

Henry @robot-toy.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

I don’t remember fighting you. I just remember my master and the mask and Ms. Angela and being very very bad. So you’re the one that hurt him…? … . . . hm.

Henry @robot-toy.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

My master was the one who bit. Did you hurt me? I don’t recall. Everything has blurred. No need for apologies. A correction was in order, and punishment was delivered for my actions. (Henry sits, eyes on the figure.)

Henry @robot-toy.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

Ha. Haha, of course I would. I don’t think you should know about things like that. You’re a tad young.

000

Henry @robot-toy.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

Ah- pardon? Either I’m bad at hiding it, or I’m flagrant about it in the future.

Henry @robot-toy.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

(The dog’s fur rises and his ears perk. Uneasy, he gets to his feet.) Hello?

Henry @robot-toy.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

So it wasn’t out of a desire for a child. Pardon my earlier confusion. I am fairly certain I don’t swing that way..

000

Henry @robot-toy.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

And that was planned…?

000

Henry @robot-toy.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

I never imagined I would have children.

Henry @robot-toy.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

That’s unfortunate. And your sister is.. my supposed future daughter, then?

000

Henry @robot-toy.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

Oh, nothing.. Ms. Angela just doesn’t strike me as a person who’d have wanted kids.

000

Henry @robot-toy.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

And who exactly is your mother? If I might ask?

000

Henry @robot-toy.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

Ah- hello there… sorry. Papa…?

110

Henry @robot-toy.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

Hm…? You’re not one of mine, are you? Where have you come from?

000

Henry @robot-toy.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

… You set me straight. I can’t be mad at you for it. Perhaps you should have followed through.

000

Henry @robot-toy.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

. . . I haven’t been feeling well these days. I’ve been failing to find the energy to trail my master and keep him safe. … . . . I’m a failure.

Henry @robot-toy.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

… I’ve probably upset you with this. So soon after your waking. I would have been here if I could, but I haven’t been able to be in more than one place since Master bit me. … I was at your beside before. Just keeping an eye on you. I’m sorry I wasn’t here for your awakening. …..

She shot him. Shot our master. Killed him. (Henry growls, then shakes his head again.) No, no no no. Stop. I need to stop. … Bad dog. Bad dog.

110

Henry @robot-toy.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

Right, right. Not him. (The dog shakes himself off.) Not him. Master. Master Randall. … Ms. Angela. She shot him. I was angry with her as well. Master Randall wouldn’t let me protect him from her.

110

Henry @robot-toy.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

I wanted to die. I wanted to die for him. To prove that I could be worthwhile and to save him. … And then he traded with another. And he died. And I was so… so angry. It was his fault. It would have worked if I had done it. … (Henry is beginning to bristle again.)

110

Henry @robot-toy.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

I tried to protect him, I promise. I promise. Please believe me. I wanted to make the trade, to have him here in my place. He wouldn’t accept. Master Randall wouldn’t hurt me. Why wouldn’t he hurt me…?
